Physicists have used a cutting-edge quantum computer to simulate a complex particle theory in two dimensions. Unlike ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

The universe is a vast expanse filled with mysteries that continue to baffle scientists and enthusiasts alike. From the ...

String theory attempts to unify all four forces, and in so doing, unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. At its core is a fairly simple idea—all particles are made of tiny vibrating ...

The strong force holds together quarks, the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus, and further holds together protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei.

The study of elementary particles and forces is of central importance to our understanding of the universe. Now a team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and the Institute for Quantum ...

How much energy it takes to change the state of a substance depends on the strength of the forces between its particles; the stronger the forces, the higher the melting and boiling points.

All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The arrangement, movement and spacing of the particles explain many of the ...

Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they interact.

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...
